INTRODUCTION
Rear Connection Panel
The FS-2/2E rear panel, shown below, contains control /audio/video input/output areas described in this section.
You can select any of the available inputs as a source. When selected, that source is what is recorded to disk. If the unit
is in E-E mode or recording, all outputs are live with the incoming signal.
For any particular video input, there is an associated audio input selected as a default. You can change that default to
another input utilizing the AUDIO INPUT MENU under SETUP. Refer to Chapter 2 for more information.
1 GPI : For connection of the optional wired remote control (ACSS-0019-01), the optional RS232C cable (CBLA-
0114-01) or contact closure cable. The GPI plug accepts a 3.5mm TRS connector.
2 Ethernet 10/100 BaseT - For connecting FS-2/2E to a network or computers for file exchange, telnet, or web control.
(The web control functionality is only available for the FS-2E or the FS-2 with the 2.0 upgrade.)
3 To Computer: For connecting the FS-2/2E to a computer's FireWire 400 port. It allows any disk drives connected
to the FS-2/2E to mount to the computer.
4 To HDD : For connecting external FireWire 400 disk drives to the FS-2/2E. Use the FS-2/2E's HDD Bypass function
with this port. When a connection is made with "Front Panel HDD Port Loop Through", it allows the front panel FireWire
connector to be used for connection of external FireWire HDDs.
5 Front Panel HDD Port Loop Through: When patched to the "To HDD" port, this connector activates the front panel
FireWire port for connection of external HDDs.
6 DV I/O 1 and DV I/O 2: For connection of DV video devices. These two ports are used to pass through the DV
signal. The FS-2/2E does not support multiple DV inputs.
7 RS422 Control: This is the input connector for external RS422 control devices.
8 SDI Input : For connecting SDI input sources. The FS-2E provides the selection of channels 1 and 2 or 3 and 4 of
the embedded SDI audio. Refer to the AUDIO INPUT->SDI->EMBEDDED sub-menu on “Audio Input” on page 2-22.
The FS-2 does not have this capability.
SDI Output: For output to SDI devices. The FS-2E inserts two channels of audio into the SDI output stream. Only
the FS-2E has this capability.
9 Y/C Input: For connecting Y/C (S-Video) input sources.
Y/C Output: For connecting to Y/C (S-Video) devices.
